I have run across a 2 year old Casati Monza frameset and was wondering if anyone has used this frame or other Casati frames? Can anyone give me any advice on this purchase? It comes with a 12cm ttt Forgie stem, Dura Ace splined bottom bracket, New Cane Creek s2 headset, and Look HSC straight blade all carbon fork. I can get it for $400. What does anyone think?? Any help would be great!

Thanks!
Clark

Casati is a small artisan that creats wonderful bikes in Monza, the little town near Milan in Italy.
Casati bikes are very fine craftworks, with some patented solutions like a very elegant integrated seatpost-clamp and frames with passing-trough cables.
In italy casati bikes have a good quality-prices ratio.

thanks for the info. i had done some research on the company on their website and they sounded good, but just wanted some more opinions. for $400, think it might be worth giving the frame a shot, expecially with the ($350 new) Look HSC carbon fork. thanks again....anyone else??
 
thanks for the help so far. the website doesn't help too much as the frame is not listed on their website. i have emailed the company, but nothing back from them yet. i've searched but not found too much information other than price and basic material.

I have a Casati Monza Steel frame that I bought from R&A Cycle in Brooklyn in 1992. My bike is equipped with Dura Ace 8 speed ( not STI though and Time Magnesium pedals. I love my bike today as much as I did 11 years ago. It has served me well and although I see other frames that I find interesting (Guru, for example) I see no reason to buy a new cycle. I am thinking of upgrading my Dura Ace shifting though

Did you ever buy the Casati frame you were talking about in 2003 ? Would be interested in knowing how you like it
